The National Park Service (Denver Service Center) wants a contractor to rehabilitate historic buildings at the former 4 Lazy F Ranch in Grand Teton National Park, near Moose, Wyoming, so they can be used as seasonal employee housing, along with new water, sewer, buried power and fiber sitework. It is a total small business set-aside, and the solicitation puts the size of the construction at greater than $10 million, with a 540 calendar day performance period shown on the subcontracting form. Proposals are due November 20, 2026, and the solicitation says funds are not yet available.
Watch out for
- Funds not yet available. No award will be made until money is available, and the Government can cancel before or after the closing date, with no reimbursement of your proposal costs.
Funds are not presently available for this effort
- Large project, over $10 million. The bonding, financing and project-management capacity needed for a project this size is a stretch for many small businesses, and past projects of similar scope and size are scored.
Magnitude of Construction: Greater than $10M
- Bid bond, then performance and payment bonds. You need a bid guarantee with the proposal and full bonds before notice to proceed, so you need a surety lined up before you bid.
Submit Standard Form 24, Bid Bond duly executed between the Offeror and the bonding
- Asbestos, lead paint and bat droppings in the buildings. The surveys found asbestos-containing materials (for example chrysotile in beam caulk and transite panels), lead-based paint has its own spec section, and large amounts of bat guano were found in the Main Lodge, so you need abatement-qualified crews or subs and a safety plan.
Large amounts of bat guano was observed on the floors and walls in all of the
- Historic preservation work. Logs, wood, masonry, doors and windows must be treated to historic standards, with hand tooling and matching of original materials, which needs specialized skills.
Log expert is required for this work.
- Remote, floodplain site in a national park. The site is in a FEMA flood zone and a test pit hit a buried septic line, and national park rules add logistics, environmental and work-window constraints.
The 4LF site is within the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) Zone A
- Pre-solicitation meeting on site. An on-site meeting and tour is scheduled for October 29, 2026 at 9:00 am in Moose, Wyoming, and you must RSVP by email to attend. The base solicitation said a site visit would be scheduled later.
A presolicitation meeting has been scheduled for 10/29 at GRTE.
- Limit on how much you can subcontract. A small business prime on a set-aside has to keep a share of the work in-house or with similarly situated firms, which limits how much you can hand to subs.
52.219-14 LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING (OCT 2022)
- Many priced options evaluated together. Prices for all 15 options are added to the base price for evaluation, and the Government will check for unbalanced pricing across line items.
- Key personnel and liquidated damages clauses. The contract names key personnel and includes a liquidated damages clause for late completion, which add schedule and staffing risk.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENT 6: KEY PERSONNEL
